Dirty Word Poem by mark king

When the final ugly word came

Divorce, divorce, divorce!

It was done with such innocence
The dirty word echoes in your head

Divorce, divorce, divorce!

And you only say, I trusted you
As all eyes in the restaurant
Seem to be peering at you
You think they’re whispering

Divorce, divorce, divorce!

Your feeling light headed and sick
As the cat grabs your tongue
Again you only say, I trusted you
With-out another nasty word
You take the check and pay
The hot rod truck starts right
And you rev the V-8 a few times
To show everybody you’re a redneck
As you leave the restaurant angry
Your better half comes running
As you dump the clutch and slam the gas
Leaving the smoking tires to choke all
While yelling at the top of your lungs

Divorce, divorce, divorce!
